ZOTAC NVIDIA: which is Your first random Dragon encounter in the The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

which is Your first random Dragon encounter in the The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
In playing the game On the way to the Grey~Beards, I met a Dragon. I was using 'calm' on goats, to level my illusion, then hacking them with my Imperial Sword to level my one handed. I only noticed the Dragon when he landed and splayed me with his frost breath. I panicked and tried to cast a novice level 'Calm' spell at it .I am a mage, and this spell used up all of my magicka. So I drank all of the restore magicka potions I had, I'm not entirely sure if I remember how you say, "I don't think so, please die" in dragon? I can't remember how he said it, exactly.. Mostly it was Frost death and tail stompings, but when I used my Staff of Shock it seemed to kill him. So, I won.

In the game My first random dragon encounter ended with three of them attacking me at once... I reloaded a few times and eventually got to only one (I think, I heard something in the distance) and ended up killing it. Pegged it with arrows till it landed then dual chopped it till it died.

Not all random dragon encounters end so happily... My first was somewhere at the top of a snowy peak. I was on the way to do some quest (can't remember which) when all of a sudden I hear that bone-chilling, ferocious roar above me. I remember thinking. “ I AM TEHDRAGONSL4YER!!!" right before he chopped down on the upper half of my body. Needless to say, I reloaded and after 3 more attempts ending in a similar fashion to the first, I called it a day and continued with my utterly boring and meaningless task

My first random dragon appeared to be scared, it just flew in the air circling me for a bit, then flew away.

Right at the front gates upon entering Whiterun, it landed on the blacksmiths shop almost immediately and tried to torch my dude. A few guards wandered around shooting arrows and I couldn't see any civilians, though once it was dead they showed up to gawk at the skeleton. Unfortunately the skeleton has yet to disappear, and continues to change its position slightly every time I come back. Last I saw it was twitching underneath the bridge. Still it was was really a spectacular scene, I've only seen three random dragons so far and they've each been memorable.

My first one popped up, bombing the estate I was tasked to sabotage during a thieves quest. It was kind of annoying, rather inconvenient timing but I killed it anyway along with a couple patrolling guards.

The first truly unscripted dragon I encountered attacked me when I was well into the main quest, just outside the Dwemer ruin I needed to explore to advance the plot. All the other dragons I found before that were scripted to be where I found them (if there's a dragon icon on your compass they're meant to be there). I nearly had a heart attack too, because said unscripted dragon decided to spawn right near one of those dragon marks, where a scripted dragon was programmed to appear to protect one of the Words. I was so scared I was going to have to fight two of them, but thankfully they didn't gang up on me.

My first random dragon encounter happened over the town of Winterhold and into the college. The dragon helped me eliminate some Magical Anomalies in town and then I finished the battle with some help from college mages as we fought each other over the bridge, it was pretty neat.

Was hanging out by a giant camp-site. Just watching them.Then the dragon swoops in and attacks a mammoth, which drives the other mammoth and the two giants crazy. I just watched as the giants and mammoth ripped into the foolish dragon.
